Lost Creek Hollow You carved a boat to sell my shadow

Oh.  This other kid did seem to be pretty friendly.  That was good.  Spook's tail wagged as well, but he was far more distracted by trying to see what had been watched so intently.  He was still far enough back that he mostly just saw it was a smallish green thing -- which pretty much eliminated all mammals, so that shortened the list significantly as far as he knew.

Despite the whispered questions, Spook wasn't any quieter than he normally was, but at least he wasn't particularly loud to start, Uhmm.  Is it a frog?  That was all he could think of, and he hadn't had the chance to be taught the difference between a frog and a toad.  He scuttled forward again for a better look.
